horrifying-pdf-experiments VS sioyek

I think this is it: https://github.com/osnr/horrifying-pdf-experiments

Here's the link to horrifying-pdf, a GitHub repo with a link that lets you play breakout entirely inside a PDF file.

Apparently PDF's have enough weird functionality that you can even build a simple video game in them. Check out https://github.com/osnr/horrifying-pdf-experiments

You can even play games embedded into your PDF file

If you're mocking me for avoiding client-side scripting then without discipline PDF is hardly any better. I disable JS by default (and only turn them for e.g. to reply to you here because Reddit decides to inject forms instead of hiding them via CSS) and the browsing experience is a lot snappier.

Depends on your PDF viewer... https://github.com/osnr/horrifying-pdf-experiments

Sioyek is a PDF viewer designed exactly for reading research papers and textbooks: https://github.com/ahrm/sioyek.

Sioyek: a PDF viewer optimized for reading research papers and textbooks. https://github.com/ahrm/sioyek

It has a lot of niche features, but my favorite is the ability to preview or jump to references even when they are not linked in the PDF file.

I implore all developers of PDF readers to implement sioyek's overview feature[0]. When you hover on a cross-referenced entry, it opens a little preview window with the contents of the reference. It is an absolute game-changer for reading textbooks and technical papers; I cannot overstate its utility.

Has anyone been able to run the sioyek PDF viewer (https://github.com/ahrm/sioyek) on Asahi? I've tinkered around a little, but the max I've gotten to is a black window with the executable complaining about an inability to compile certain shaders. Would this be due to the current OpenGL in mesa-asahi-edge (and thus can't be solved until we get more recent OpenGL version support) or is there some way to finagle around this?

Maybe chat to the dev of https://github.com/ahrm/sioyek about adding this as a feature. It's probably the closest pdf viewer I can think of that might do something like this in the future.
